Each committee shall establish an operating charter which is subject to the following operating principles:

In order to more effectively accomplish its mission, a committee may, from time to time, establish various subcommittees.

At all times, a majority of the committee members must be members of the Board of Directors of the Foundation.

All committees will regularly report to the Board of Directors the action taken by the committee since the last board meeting. The action of the committees is subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors, except to the extent that the Board of Directors has specifically authorized the committee to act without further approval.

If any committee recommends action to the Board of Directors that has not been approved by a majority of the board members on the committee, it must be so noted in the minutes and report of the committee to the Board of Directors.
